Kudos to beIN Sports for making available these game on their online channels. It’s free if you subscribe to beIN Sports channel or beIN Espanol channel. NBC Sports does the same thing if you subscribe to NBC Sports Network. Only Fox charges for their online content via foxsoccer2go and it isn’t cheap either.
Not true, you can access Fox sports for free online via Foxsportsgo instead of foxsoccer2go.
Foxsportsgo only shows limited programming mostly from Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2. Programs on Fox Soccer Plus and foxsoccer2go are not available on Foxsportsgo.
Is bein available in uk
Unfortunately not. Sorry!
BeIN (regular) is available with the Sling Sports Extra package and en Espanyol is on BeIN Espanyol available with the Spanish TV Extra package. As an Arsenal fan, thanks for the fuboTV heads up. I didn’t know about that option. Lord Bendtner vs. his former team? How could they not elevate that storyline to the main channel???
